The writer for the google manifesto did not embark on a conservative topic but it became a conservatives pov after his publishing. I frankly think he was misunderstood by everyone, both right and left sides. I think he was being more intellectual than emotional. And that is the problem here: politics is more about emotions than intellect. And participating in it means you have to be emotionally intelligent. So don’t be involved until you’re emotionally intuned with your colleagues. (I often take the opposite side of my colleagues because that is the only way I can emotionally understand them. Also because I think being emotional over technical issues is foolish.)

He classifies himself as "a classical liberal and strongly value individualism and reason", which would land him on the political right. He also claims Google is ideologically left-leaning and that this bias harms the company and needs adjustment. > And participating in it means you have to be emotionally intelligent. Not necessarily, but a certain amount of tact is always required to live in society. > So don’t be involved until you’re emotionally intuned with your colleagues. One expedient I use myself (as someone who is blind to a number of social cues most people can immediately identify) is to make people aware of that. People are often understanding if you give them the chance.
